Understanding the Standard
What Is Lockout/Tagout — and Why Does Your Facility Need It?
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) is a federally mandated safety practice governed by OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.147. It requires facilities to establish written, machine-specific procedures for controlling hazardous energy during the servicing and maintenance of equipment. When done correctly, LOTO prevents unexpected energization — protecting workers from serious injury or death.
OSHA requires a separate written procedure for each qualifying piece of equipment — generic instructions do not meet the standard.
Visual, graphical procedures that pinpoint exact energy isolation points are far more effective — and better received by OSHA inspectors.
Beyond initial compliance, OSHA 1910.147(c)(6) requires an annual periodic inspection of each energy control procedure and each authorized employee.
